I wonder if they really believe they are above the law.
Here's my take on that: They have money so of course they have attorneys, accountants, managers, advisors, etc. to help them make sound decisions about that money and how they live their lives. And what risks are acceptable.
So the accountant and attorney think of a plan to save millions in taxes that may be borderline but worth the risk - the attorney says "if" this ever was questioned by the IRS I think we would stand a good chance of winning. Now the Morse family will find out if that attorney and accountant are up to the task of winning the case.
Now the hunting thing. Do you think they bought all that land in Montana and one day loaded up the jeep with some guns and headed out on a shooting spree? Remember the key here - MONEY. They hired someone to show them where to hunt, how to hunt, etc. (Same guys that are supposed to haul in the kill, I doubt Mark Morse and his family are dragging around dead elk.) If it were me I would be taking the advice of the guides.
Don't get me wrong - the Morse family is ultimately responsible for their actions. I just don't envision Mark Morse filling out his 1040 or going down to the county office for a hunting license anymore than I would expect Ted Turner to pick up his own car registration or Donald Trump to go to H and R Block. When you have money someone does that for you.
Just my opinions.
